top 10 alfred molina

paul thomas andersons, follow up to indie drama, hard eight, and probely my fav direcror at the moment, followed with magnolia, and got adam sandler acting in punch drunk love, his new one there will be blood, looks amazing
boogie nights sees the life of eddie torrence, played brilliantly by mark warlberg, as a wash up guy, who does favours for money in the back of the restaurant, here hes discovered by jack horner,( burt reynlds) as he notices he has a special and big talent, if you know what i mean. he invites him out to his huse where he is offered a job as a adult movie star, eddie with no real prospects, and is now homeless, jumps at the chance, here we get a glimpse inside the world ofadult movie making, we are introduced to all the people involved, john c riley as a fellow pawn star, reece fairchild, william h macy, as a cinematoghrapher, heather graeme, as pawn star rollergirl( shes always keeps her skates on) julianne more as amber waves, the best in the business, and of course phillip seymour hoffman as scotty, the lonely boom guy
we see eddies life rocket to stardom, and turned into dirk diggler, as he becomes the best at what he does, and along with jack horner, and reece fairchild, think up a concept for a film, with a actual story, hes then turned into brock landers, and agsain is a success, things turn ugly as the 70s turn into the 80s, and things like videotape and cocaine, begin to ruin the party, so we see eddie during this time, sink to a low, of prostituting, and crime to make a quick buck,
the style of this filn is so great, and in a way so many elements of goodfellas are seen here, the structure, the use of music all present, and the third act, which sees the downside, everyone is on fine form, and it was great to see anderson team up with a lot of this cast for the amazine magnolia, and a shout out to reynolds who while playing a 70s charactor, puts him back where he once was king of the box office, since boogie nights he dident capalise on its fame, unlkie say travolta and pulp fiction,
great 70s soundtrack, 70 settings, funny moments( warlberg and riley, in recording studio, is priceless, you got the touch, brilliant), and anderson on his way to genius, this is in my top 10 easy

a hero is born, great action adventure inspired by those sat morning tv programes which lucas loved, and another masterpiece from spielberg, theres great action in here,and scenes thatl make you squem,

p.t andersons follow up after boogie nights reunites most of the cast, for one day in l.a, where all the emotions come out, great acting all round, macy, moore, riley, hoffman, all superb, great aimee mann soundtrack too. anderson really is my fav director at moment,

interesting true life story, based on a novelist, whos running out of options when his latest book isnt picked up for publication, he picks up on the idea that, if he tells his publishers he doing a biography on businessman howard hughes, with hughes permission, which he hasent, it will work, as hughes was known for being a recluse, and not talking to his closest business men, so he then takes on the task of writing the book, getting information, from hughes assosiates, and trying to get into the mind of hgughes him self, things get complicated when payment is exchanged, and hughes assosiates are on to what is going on, a great little look at what you can or can not get away with when your subject is a looney like hughes, and a sinister lok at what hughes might have been involved with during his later years of his life, and connectiobs with the goverment, great performances from all, especially alfred molina as geres friend in on the act. a good watch

loads of stars turn up for indie director jim jarmush, in a load of vignettes, short scenes starring many stars, a scene thats set around people drinking coffee and smoking cigerettes, hence the title. cate blanchet, bill murrey, tom waits, robert benigni, steve bushimi, iggy pop, and even the white stripes, amung many others, starring in there 5 to 10 minute scene, life troubles, relationships, modern living, health, amoung many topics, great use of black and white, and oviously shot on a very tight budget, but you see the stars just relaxing and letting loose and doing there bit, not all storys are great to watch, and there are highlights, but thats what is great, there soon over with, flys by too, which is great
